Preparation of Polydiacetylene Vesicle and Amphiphilic Polymer as Time-Temperature Indicator

Abstract:

Polydiacetylene (PDA) was used as a colorimetric indicator depended on temperature and time. This paper presents a new time-temperature indicator based on PDA vesicle and amphiphilic polymer. The 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) was prepared with different concentration of Pluronic F127 which was varied from 0 to 4 % w/v, respectively. After that, there was obtained in different temperature (30-50°C) until clearly color change. This solution could gradually change from blue to red color which it could observe by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The absorbance in each solution was reported at 640 and 540 nm, respectively, and then calculated by the color response (CR). In addition, the CR increased that directly related with temperature and time, when the concentration of F127 was constant. Also, the CR increased that directly related with temperature and concentration of F127, when time was constant. This method could have potential application as a new time-temperature indicator.
